辣妹子：「我最近迷上吃麻辣火鍋，我身體偏寒，麻辣火鍋屬於熱，那就可以平衡身體了對嗎？ 」
CheckCheckCin：
很多人喜歡吃麻辣火鍋甚至麻辣味道的食物，喜歡麻麻辣辣的刺激味覺，麻辣火鍋一般會加入大量辛香料例如花椒、辣椒、桂皮、八角、茴香、丁香、孜然製作，中醫理論認為辛香料都有驅寒袪濕的功效，對畏寒人士來說的確有驅寒作用。然而火鍋屬性熱之物，多吃易上火，加重濕熱、陰虛體質症狀。而氣血兩虛體質人士亦不宜多吃辛辣食物，以免氣血辛散，令氣血更虛。如屬氣滯血瘀體質人士，偶一為之行氣活血，疏疏肝氣，亦未嘗不可。當然，想吃火鍋的話吃清湯火鍋會比較健康。
火鍋後清熱茶療
功效：清熱解毒，紓緩因進食偏熱食物引致的偏熱症狀如口瘡、暗瘡、口臭等
材料：雞蛋花3-4朵、糖冬瓜2－3條
做法：洗淨放保溫瓶，以熱開水沖洗一遍，注入熱開水焗約5分鐘至花香味透出即可，可反覆沖泡至味淡。
注意：脾胃虛弱、容易腹瀉人士不宜飲用。
Spicy hot pot is addictive and can cause damp heat and edema
I’ve been so addicted to spicy hot pot lately. My body is naturally cold so spicy hot pot would be a good balance right?
CheckCheckCin: some people love spicy hot pot to the point tbey prefer the spicy level to be numbing. Spicy hot pot is made by adding a lot of spicy or warm herbs such as Sichuan pepper, chili pepper, cinnamon, star anise, fennel, clove, and cumin. These herbs can dispel cold so it can be suitable for those with aversion to cold. However, spicy hot pot is hot in nature, can lead to excessive fire in body and damp heat and yin deficient symptoms. Those with asthenic qi and blood should not have hot pot either. Those with blood stasis can have it occasionally to promote qi and blood circulation. It is still best to have hot pot with a clear broth.
